The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has officially registered Governor Siminalayi Fubara as a party member. The registration took place at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Friday, as shown in a photograph shared by the media aide to state APC chairman Tony Okocha. The image captures Governor Fubara placing his thumbprint in a book believed to be the party’s membership register.
Fubara announced his intention to join the APC earlier in the week, describing his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as being in the best interest of the people of Rivers State. He also framed the move as a gesture of appreciation to President Bola Tinubu, whom he credits with playing a significant role in his rise to the governorship.
The governor’s shift to the APC represents a notable change in the state’s political landscape and could alter the balance of power in the region. His new affiliation is likely to influence voting patterns among his constituents and may affect the outcome of upcoming elections. Observers within the political community are closely watching how this development unfolds, recognizing its potential far‑reaching consequences for both Rivers State and the country at large. As the situation evolves, the impact of Fubara’s defection on the state’s political future remains to be seen.
